I am glad to release one of the classic assignment I give to students in my class. This assignment is designed in a manner so that the student experiences the holistic nature of problem-solving.
Is this a UI or a UX problem, can you clarify?
Personally, I do not differentiate between UI and UX*. Both inform and complement each other. I consider them inseparable. If you don’t have an understanding of either, you cannot envisage a holistic design outcome. I have presented a problem for you to figure out the solution. Use all your theories. When you feel confident, then I shall pitch in with queries. This is the way, I teach.
The stated problem poses a question of what kind of user interface (artefact) you will design for Sunil, and what will be the associated experience it will generate. I have designed a scenario for this assignment sitting in my office. Everything in the problem is crafted so you can experience real-world problem-solving in a classroom setting. The scenario is purely hypothetical and revolves around an imaginary character Sunil, who is in trouble. You are his saviour.
Help Sunil.
Save his job.
